I can't wait to see the episode where you find an old plane in the bush, fix it up and fly it home.

I can't believe your already amazing property has waterfront access on top of it all! Stunning.

Next episode: This hut doesn’t look like it’s started for a while...let’s see if I can get it going!

They easiest way that i have found to find holes is to turn the boat over and put a torch under it at night. The holes come shining thru!

You're a man of many skills Marty

That cabin was very well built, with the diagonal bracing let into the walls. The siding was pretty fancy also. Thanks for the great videos!

Good find Marty! Insurance won’t care because it’s not worth their time but it is a great little work boat for you. It would be worthwhile to check on whether there is an owner for the cabin. That might prove to be a better salvage!

next video: “I found an old ship, looks like it was called the “Titan-or something… Fixed it and steamed it home”

That was a well made cabin. Strange that it seemed abandoned.

He wears knee high waterproof boots in every situation except when pulling a boat out of ankle deep water. Love it.

You sure do live in a beautiful part of the world, I always love to hear the bird song in the back ground too.

You must be the luckiest person around just finding these things.

"Let's get out of here." Little creeped out, were you? I don't blame you. I was waiting for you to find the body.

Well done! I would wager that if you took this guy down to the Titanic he would have it running and on the surface in no time.

I love stories like this - will it start/run/float. Guys that have the knowledge, time and patience for such projects deserve all the satisfaction and pleasure they get for recycling. Excellent stuff!

Competence is at the top of my list for thrills . This young mans video sent joy like an arrow to my heart . Good to see someone building his life , using his environment , mind , hands and heart to such excellent effect . For me , knowing the choices I made ( not bad ones , I mean we only get one life and I really used mine ) and knowing what I now know , I think I might have really gloried in the kind of life shown here . No regrets , but a lot of pleasure viewing this video . Thanks

The regular plumbing torch with some of those aluminum welding rods from Amazon would do a nice job fixing her up 👍

I never get bored watching you. A stunning place where you live.

This video was suspenseful! Loved it!

Much better adventure than anything on tv today; thanks for the ride-along Marty!

Surely the fact that it hit the shore right by that hut cannot be a coincidence...? Suspicious.

Well done Marty, a good deed done and a free boat with motor. Thanks for the adventure. Tom Uk

Thank you for your videos Marty. Your projects and aptitude are enjoyable and enlightening for me. I have a similar small outboard that I purchased repair parts for and been dragging my feet to finish. Thank you for the influence to get it finished!

Just imagine what Marty and Andrew could do if they teamed up! Both amazing in there own right. Thank you Marty!!

Our man creeping around a stabbin' cabin in the woods. Sod that.

I laughed how your voice got deeper when you shouted "Is anybody there" 😂😂

Pity you didn't show us how to cook the mussels. I would have found that interesting. That really is a beautiful place you live in.

Greetings from Wales UK love your videos is anything you can't fix your a very knowledgeable guy regards keith

The way you are mate, someone will pay you to take a perfectly good boat trailer away.😁

Excellent storytelling as usual Marty. Best let the police or insurance company know. Wouldn’t want you to get into trouble if it technically belongs to the insurance company now.

Marty I have a 5 meter 1981 Savage Gannett tinnie with the original 35 horse Evinrude on it. The boat has a heavy aluminium 'I beam' added along the keel for use on stony beaches but the little engine pushes the boat along nicely even with a towing prop!

Great score Marty! Clearing the waterways, upcycling, awesome.

Seriously dude, is there anything you can't do? Lol Greetings from UK

The boat was a cool find but the creepy cabin was more interesting lol. Do a video exploring it!

Thanks Marty, for taking us along on another great video adventure with you!

You live an interesting life, Marty. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.

NZ - it would have to be one of the nicest places on earth.

Yes I was just thinking that I hadn't seen a video from you in abit .was getting worried 😂

I've got exactly the same engine for my 3.4m RIB, but in good condition, probably because it's had 98% fresh water use. It's been a great little engine, but struggles to get me and the boat on to the plane as well. The video was a nice little primer for when I do the impeller soon. Thanks Marty.

There's nothing that Marty can't fix!!! 👍👍AWESOME find Marty!!!

Dude! The half sunken boat and the (appears to be) abandoned shack hidden in the woods, is straight out of a horror movie! I was waiting for a blur of sudden movement, a terrified scream, the camera crashing to the ground (still filming), and the sound of a body being dragged into the woods!

Flipping the impeller around usually breaks the fins a lot faster.

That was a very nice find ! For the little bit of work to put into it to keep it dry inside and the basic motor maintenance this is a diamond . You are one lucky bloke .

my family cabin in Minnesota growing-up had an island across the way with big old trees. Every flood season the big old trees would catch all kinds of things from up river. boats, canoe paddles, even an entire house one year. as a kid it was great fun in the spring to canoe over and look for treasure. Last word I had, one flood season the whole island got washed a couple of miles down river.

Looking forward to seeing Thunderbird 4 back to her full glory!

That was pretty sweet how you hauled it on that 4 wheeler trailer.

One of my favorite KZfaq channels. 👌

I can remember Dad putting an inspection light underneath an upturned alu boat one night to find the pin holes. I don't remember how effective it was 😆

That’s one of those houses you find but never live to tell anyone.

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip that started from this tropic port aboard this tiny ship. 🎵 • 🚤 • ⚓️ • 🗺 • 🎶

I'm always impressed with your videos. Seems to me, you can fix anything. Nice find, getting a free boat.

Love your videos Marty, you really do live in paradise.

Did you put on your best masculine voice on "Is Anyone There" 😁

There are some aluminium "welding rods", advertised a lot. Actually, they are soldering rods, but it would do fine for this after cleaning with the power washer. BTW i'd put a roof on it, some solar panels, battery and an electric motor, 10kW or so... it would be fun. :D

Too right Mate! love your video's. As a retired Diesel tech (×3), at one, or two points in my life I have side trained in Marine (Merc Master tech), and was stationed in West Australia 74-76. Visited NZ 3x during my Winter Over 80-81, on the South Pole. Free Boat, Fare Dinkum I say!

stunning location love the colour of the water......well done with the boat

Everything Marty gets into is an adventure. Even everyday events bring something new to tinker with.

The boat's leaking, the outboard is shot, what do you reckon, cut the mooring rope then claim on the insurance?

Marty you amaze me with your ability to fix things

Great to watch,ur skills are amazing,keep the videos coming,really do enjoy watching,all the best from the uk

A hut in a forest? This is how horror movies start.

There is nothing more definite in the world of engineering than does it float?

Great video. A man of many talents. Can't wait for your next one.

That's a really well-built boat probably been around for a while Marty I could see you putting a car engine in that having a bit of fun. Marty New Zealand looks beautiful would love to go there someday but I know that will never happen anyway you can bring it to me here on KZfaq thank you so much you take care stay well stay safe and as always God bless

So you're telling me you caught a boat. Damn you good.

Next time on the Marty T channel, Marty salvages a hut for his private beach.

what a deasent honest man you are Marty, god bless you

Thoroughly enjoy all your uploads Marty, but this latest adventure was great! Thanks for sharing!

Careful the reason why the guy didn't want the boat back is simple. Its no longer his boat once the Insurance company pays out. If he took it back he would have to pay the Insurance company for it. So in that kind of situation its always best to phone the old fuzz.

The way they check for leaking rivets on an aluminum Airstream trailer? A large suction cup. The type you use on large glass panels or auto body work.

Super cool! A free boat with a little work, good on you.

your demeanor and the vids are strangely satisfying.

Glad your back m8. Thought you were MIA...

abandoned hut to summer home lol

I was getting those Baywatch vibes in the first couple of minutes. Quality vid as always mate

You are a top bloke, I wish there were more people in the world like yourself bro

Show us how you do those muscles sometime. I like that boat too; great find; collect all the missing hardware.

Some shades of Deliverance going on there for a bit :-) and the one thing you can't beat in life is FREE!!!!

Nice looking muscles. You are living the life. Thanks for sharing.

Cool video buddy as always. New boat looks great!

theres thousands of huts like that around nz its cool to find them.

Difficult to imagine that the boat "just happened to beach " directly in front of hut. Possible dope grower just hiding in bush. :)

Look forward to seeing you make a new steering wheel. Glad there were no dead bodies in the boat or cabin. Thanks for the fun. 🤠

Wow, super cool! I really dig that boat. Nice video.

this reminds me of a time I found an abandoned jeep with flat tires on some federal land, just aired em up, jumped the battery and now I have a new jeep. Saw a looney backpacker waving me down as I was driving away, but I don't pick up hitch-hikers, too dangerous.

That "is there anyone there?" Is how people get murdered.

Excellent work👍👍👍. Thanks for sharing

Making due with what you've got. Excellent.

That’s an insurance job if I’ve ever seen one. They def let her go on purpose. Lol. No prob. You get a free cool boat to fix up.

Little boat: Think I'll wait in this sheltered bit for someone to rescue me. Marty T: Well hello there little boat. Little Boat: Yeaaaaa it's Marty T from KZfaq, I'm saved!! Seriously though, don't go to that cabin again.

Best way to find the leaks in a boat is to get it out of the water and fill it with water! Mark the leaks on the outside, and trace them to the inside. Then paint it with the right stuff. Nice find. Thank you for sharing

Nice find Marty. I have an old 12' alum v bottom with a 15 horse Johnson. It flies! and leaks. 😄

Gotta love a freebie. Its got some potential that wee boat. Steering and a bigger hp engine will work nicely.

Kinda weird how the boat gets there with nobody inside.

Another great vid Marty!

My brother and I found a boat in the same situation when we were teenagers. We were duck hunting and ran across this half flooded aluminum boat with a motor on it. We bailed it out and towed it to the launch. Same deal, owners had already submitted for insurance, so, we got to keep it. We had lots of good years on that boat afterwards. It was a beater and we used it hard on Humboldt Bay in California.

1) It’s only a matter of time before Marty comes across a body 2) Next time I have a vehicle break down I’m going to just tow it into the nearest section of bush and come back after a couple of weeks, I’m pretty sure Marty will have just come across it and fixed it for me

Their crappy old boat went "missing" and they claimed the insurance, riiiiight.

Glad to see you checked the fluids first thing, mate. Nice find.

Watching your channel is very relaxing. looks like you have yourself your own little slice of heaven there.
